Product description
The AX88796B is a low-pin-count (64-pin LQFP) non-PCI Ethernet controller for the Embedded and Industrial Ethernet
applications. The AX88796B supports 8/16-bit SRAM-like host interface, providing a glue-less connection to most
common embedded MCUs. The AX88796B integrates on-chip Fast Ethernet MAC and PHY, which is IEEE802.3
10Base-T and IEEE802.3u 100Base-TX compatible, and 8Kx16 bits embedded SRAM for packet buffering to
accommodate high bandwidth applications. The AX88796B has a wide array of features including support for Twisted
Pair Crossover Detection and Auto-Correction, Wake-on-LAN power management, and IEEE 802.3x and back-pressure
flow control. The AX88796B supports two operating temperature ranges, namely, commercial grade from 0 to 70 °C and
industrial grade from –40 to 85 °C. The small form factor of 64-pin LQFP package helps reduce the overall PCB space.
The programming of AX88796B is simple and compatible with NE2000, so the users don’t need any modification and
can easily port the software drivers to many embedded systems very quickly. Combining these features with ASIX’s free
TCP/IP software stack for 8-bit microcontrollers, AX88796B provides the best Ethernet solution for embedded
networking applications.

System Address or FIFO Select: When driven high, all accesses to the
AX88796B are to the RX or TX data buffer FIFO (DP).
AX88796B supports two kinds of Data Port for receiving/transmitting
packets from/to AX88796B. One is the PIO Data Port (offset 10h);
the other one is the SRAM-like Data Port (e.g. offset 800h ~ FFFh for
Samsung2440 processor as described in Appendix A4 of AX88796B
datasheet). The SRAM-like Data Port address range depends on
which address line of host processor is being connected to the address
line SA5/FIFO_SEL of AX88796B.

Software on host CPU can issue Single Data Read/Write command to
both PIO Data Port and SRAM-like Data Port. However, to use Burst
Data Read/Write commands, one has to use SRAM-like Data Port,
which requires SA5/FIFO_SEL (pin 45) of AX88796B connecting to
an upper address line of host CPU. Our reference schematic has
SA5/FIFO_SEL pin connected to upper address line for supporting
Burst Data Read/Write commands.

3.1 EEPROM Memory Mapping
EEPROM interface can access via CSR offset 14h SMI/EEPROM registers when auto load operation completed.
The content of EEPROM data will be auto-loaded to internal memory from 0000h to 001Fh and from 0400h to
040Fh automatically when hardware reset. It is similar to NE2000 PROM store Ethernet address. The real MAC
address must configured by PAR0 ~ PAR5 (CR page1 offset1 ~ offset6). The auto-loader only write to internal
SRAM not write to PAR0 ~ PAR5. An example as below, if the desired Ethernet physical address is
10-32-54-76-98-BA
It is a programmed EEPROM if auto-load value is 5AA5h from EEPROM address 0h. After hardware reset the
EEPROM loader will read first word and check pattern 5AA5h. If the first word value not equal to 5AA5h then the
EEPROM loader proclaimed that no external EEPROM or external EEPROM is a non-programmed EEPROM.

4.0 Basic Operation
4.1 Receiver Filtering
The address filtering logic compares the Destination Address Field (first 6 bytes of the received packet) to the
Physical address registers stored in the Address Register Array. If any one of the six bytes does not match the
pre-programmed physical address, the Protocol Control Logic rejects the packet. This is for unicast address filtering.
All multicast destination addresses are filtered using a hashing algorithm. (See following description.) If the
multicast address indexes a bit that has been set in the filter bit array of the Multicast Address Register Array the
packet is accepted, otherwise the Protocol Control Logic rejects it. Each destination address is also checked for all
1’s, which is the reserved broadcast address.
4.1.1 Unicast Address Match Filter
The physical address registers are used to compare the destination address of incoming packets for rejecting or
accepting packets. Comparisons are performed on a byte wide basis. The bit assignment shown below relates the
sequence in PAR0-PAR5 to the bit sequence of the received packet.

4.1.2 Multicast Address Match Filter
The Multicast Address Registers provide filtering of multicast addresses hashed by the CRC logic. All destination
addresses are fed through the 32 bits CRC generation logic and as the last bit of the destination address enters the
CRC, the 6 most significant bits of the CRC generator are latched. These 6 bits are then decoded by a 1 of 64 decode
to index a unique filter bit (FB0-63) in the Multicast Address Registers. If the filter bit selected is set, the multicast
packet is accepted. The system designer would use a program to determine which filter bits to set in the multicast
registers. All multicast filter bits that correspond to Multicast Address Registers accepted by the node are then set to
one. To accept all multicast packets all of the registers are set to all ones.

If address Y is found to hash to the value 32 (20H), then FB32 (ref. 4.1.2) in MAR2 should be initialized to ``1''. This
will cause the AX88796B to accept any multicast packet with the address Y.
Although the hashing algorithm does not guarantee perfect filtering of multicast address, it will perfectly filter up to
64 logical address filters if these addresses are chosen to map into unique locations in the multicast filter.
Note: The first bit of received packet sequence is 1’s stands by Multicast Address.
4.1.3 Broadcast Address Match Filter
The Broadcast check logic compares the Destination Address Field (first 6 bytes of the received packet) to all 1’s,
which is the values are “FF FF FF FF FF FF FF” in Hex format. If any bit of the six bytes does not equal to 1’s, the
Protocol Control Logic rejects the packet.
4.1.4 VLAN Match Filter
AX88796B compares the thirteenth and fourteenth bytes of receive frames. If not match with VLAN_ID1,
VLAN_ID_0 (offset 1dh, 1ch) then reject current frame. The VLAN filter will always accept VLAN_ID is zero of

4.2 Buffer Management Operation
There are four buffer memory access types used in AX88796B.
1. Packet Reception (Write data to memory from MAC)
2. Packet Transmission (Read data from memory to MAC)
3. Filling Packets to Transmit Buffer (Host fill data to memory)
4. Removing Packets from the Receive Buffer Ring (Host read data from memory)
The type 1 and 2 operations act as Local DMA. Type 1 does Local DMA write operation and type 2 does Local
DMA read operation. The type 3 and 4 operations act as Remote DMA. Type 3 does Remote DMA write operation
and type 4 does Remote DMA read operation.
4.2.1 Packet Reception
The Local DMA receives channel uses a Buffer Ring Structure comprised of a series of contiguous fixed length 256
byte (128 word) buffers for storage of received packets. The location of the Receive Buffer Ring is programmed in
two registers, a Page Start and a Page Stop Register. Ethernet packets consist of minimum packet size (64 bytes) to
maximum packet size (1522 bytes), the 256 byte buffer length provides a good compromise between short packets
and longer packets to most efficiently use memory. In addition these buffers provide memory resources for storage
of back-to-back packets in loaded networks. Buffer Management Logic in the AX88796B controls the assignment
of buffers for storing packets. The Buffer Management Logic provides three basic functions: linking receive buffers
for long packets, recovery of buffers when a packet is rejected, and recalculation of buffer pages that have been read
by the host.
At initialization, a portion of the 16k byte (or 8k word) address space is reserved for the receiver buffer ring. Two
eight bit registers, the Page Start Address Register (PSTART) and the Page Stop Address Register (PSTOP) define
the physical boundaries of where the buffers reside. The AX88796B treats the list of buffers as a logical ring;
whenever the DMA address reaches the Page Stop Address, the DMA is reset to the Page Start Address.

Initialization Of The Buffer Ring
Two static registers and two working registers control the operation of the Buffer Ring. These are the Page Start
Register, Page Stop Register (both described previously), the Current Page Register and the Boundary Pointer
Register. The Current Page Register points to the first buffer used to store a packet and is used to restore the DMA
for writing status to the Buffer Ring or for restoring the DMA address in the event of a Runt packet, a CRC, or
Frame Alignment error. The Boundary Register points to the first packet in the Ring not yet read by the host. If the
local DMA address ever reaches the Boundary, reception is aborted. The Boundary Pointer is also used to initialize
the Remote DMA for removing a packet and is advanced when a packet is removed. A simple analogy to remember
the function of these registers is that the Current Page Register acts as a Write Pointer and the Boundary Pointer acts
as a Read Pointer.

Fig - 5 Receive Buffer Ring At Initialization
Beginning Of Reception
When the first packet begins arriving the AX88796B and begins storing the packet at the location pointed to by the
Current Page Register. An offset of 4 bytes is reserved in this first buffer to allow room for storing receives status
corresponding to this packet.
Linking Receive Buffer Pages
If the length of the packet exhausts the first 256 bytes buffer, the DMA performs a forward link to the next buffer to
store the remainder of the packet. For a maximal length packet the buffer logic will link six buffers to store the entire
packet. Buffers cannot be skipped when linking; a packet will always be stored in contiguous buffers. Before the
next buffer can be linked, the Buffer Management Logic performs two comparisons. The first comparison tests for
equality between the DMA address of the next buffer and the contents of the Page Stop Register. If the buffer
address equals the Page Stop Register, the buffer management logic will restore the DMA to the first buffer in the
Receive Buffer Ring value programmed in the Page Start Address Register. The second of comparison test between
the DMA address of the next buffer address and the contents of the Boundary Pointer Register. If the two values are
equal the reception is aborted. The Boundary Pointer Register can be used to protect against overwriting any area in
the receive buffer that has not yet been read. When linking buffers, buffer management will never cross this pointer,
effectively avoiding any overwrites. If the buffer address does not match either the Boundary Pointer or Page Stop
Address, the link to the next buffer is performed.
16
ASIX ELECTRONICS CORPORATION
AX88796BLF / AX88796BLI
Linking Buffers
Before the DMA can enter the next contiguous 256 bytes buffer, the address is checked for equality to PSTOP and
to the Boundary Pointer. If neither is reached, the DMA is allowed to use the next buffer.
Buffer Ring Overflow
If the Buffer Ring has been filled and the DMA reaches the Boundary Pointer Address, reception of the current
incoming packet will be discard by the AX88796B. Thus, the packets previously received and still contained in the
Ring will not be destroyed.
End Of Packet Operations
At the end of the packet the AX88796B determines whether the received packet is to be accepted or rejected. It
either branch to a routine to store the or to another routine that recovers the buffers used to store the packet.
If current of packet is accepted then AX88796B write two words of buffer header on receive buffer.
Buffer Header

Length
Description
D[15:8]: Next Page Pointer
D[7:6]: always zero
D[5]: multicast or broadcast
D[4]: runt packet
D[3]: MII error
D[2]: alignment error
D[1]: CRC error
D[0]: good packet
D[15:11]: always zero
D[10:0]: packet length
Successful Reception
If the packet is successfully received as shown, the DMA is restored to the first buffer used to store the packet
(pointed to by the Current Page Register). The DMA then stores the Receive Status, a Pointer to where the next
packet will be stored and the number of received bytes. Note that the remaining bytes in the last buffer are discarded
and reception of the next packet begins on the next empty 256 byte buffer boundary. The Current Page Register is
then initialized to the next available buffer in the Buffer Ring. (The location of the next buffer had been previously
calculated and temporarily stored in an internal scratchpad register.)
Buffer Recovery For Rejected Packets
If the packet is a runt packet or contains CRC or Frame Alignment errors, it is rejected. The buffer management
logic resets the DMA back to the first buffer page used to store the packet (pointed to by CPR), recovering all
buffers that had been used to store the rejected packet. This operation will not be performed if the AX88796B is
programmed to accept either runt packets or packets with CRC or Frame Alignment errors. The received CRC is
always stored in buffer memory after the last byte of received data for the packet.

AX88796BLF / AX88796BLI
4.2.2 Packet Transmission
The Local DMA Read is also used during transmission of a packet. Three registers control the DMA transfer during
transmission, a Transmit Page Start Address Register (TPSR) and the Transmit Byte Count Registers (TBCR0, 1).
When the AX88796B receives a command to transmit the packet pointed to by these registers, buffer memory data
will be moved into the FIFO as required during transmission. The AX88796B Controller will generate and append
the preamble, synch and CRC fields. AX88796B supports options of transmit queue function to enhance transmit
performance.

Transmit Packet Assembly
The AX88796B requires a contiguous assembled packet with the format shown below. The transmit byte count
includes the Destination Address, Source Address, Length Field and Data. It does not include preamble and CRC.
When transmitting data smaller than 64 bytes, AX88796B can auto padding to a minimum length of 64 bytes
Ethernet frame. The packets are placed in the buffer RAM by the system. System programs the AX88796B Core's
Remote DMA to move the data from the system buffer RAM to internal transmit buffer RAM.
The data transfer must be 16-bits (1 word) when in 16-bit mode, and 8-bits when the AX88796B Controller is set in
8-bit mode. The data width is selected by setting the WTS bit in the Data Configuration Register.

General Transmit Packet Format
Transmission
Prior to transmission, the TPSR (Transmit Page Start Register) and TBCR0, TBCR1 (Transmit Byte Count
Registers) must be initialized. To initiate transmission of the packet the TXP bit in the Command Register is set. The
Transmit Status Register (TSR) is cleared and the AX88796B begins to pre-fetch transmit data from memory. If the
Inter-packet Gap (IPG) has timed out the AX88796B will begin transmission.
Conditions Required To Begin Transmission
In order to transmit a packet, the following three conditions must be met:
1. The Inter-packet Gap Timer has timed out
2. At least one byte has entered the FIFO.
3. If a collision had been detected then before transmission the packet back-off time must have timed out.
Collision Recovery
During transmission, the Buffer Management logic monitors the transmit circuitry to determine if a collision has
occurred. If a collision is detected, the Buffer Management logic will reset the FIFO and restore the Transmit DMA
pointers for retransmission of the packet. The COL bit will be set in the TSR and the NCR (Number of Collisions
Register) will be incremented. If 15 retransmissions each result in a collision the transmission will be aborted and
the ABT bit in the TSR will be set.

4.2.3 Filling Packet to Transmit Buffer (Host fill data to memory)
The Remote DMA channel is used to both assembles packets for transmission, and to remove received packets from
the Receive Buffer Ring. It may also be used as a general-purpose slave DMA channel for moving blocks of data or
commands between host memory and local buffer memory. There are two modes of operation, Remote Write and
Remote Read Packet.
Two register pairs are used to control the Remote DMA, a Remote Start Address (RSAR0, RSAR1) and a Remote
Byte Count (RBCR0, RBCR1) register pair. The Start Address Register pair points to the beginning of the block to
be moved while the Byte Count Register pair is used to indicate the number of bytes to be transferred. Full
handshake logic is provided to move data between local buffer memory (Embedded Memory) and a bi-directional
data port.
Remote Write
A Remote Write transfer is used to move a block of data from the host into local buffer memory. The Remote DMA
will read data from the I/O port and sequentially write it to local buffer memory beginning at the Remote Start
Address. The DMA Address will be incremented and the Byte Counter will be decremented after each transfer. The
DMA is terminated when the Remote Byte Count Register reaches a count of zero.
4.2.4 Removing Packets from the Ring (Host read data from memory)
Remote Read
A Remote Read transfer is used to move a block of data from local buffer memory to the host. The Remote DMA
will sequentially read data from the local buffer memory, beginning at the Remote Start Address, and write data to
the I/O port. The DMA Address will be incremented and the Byte Counter will be decremented after each transfer.
The DMA is terminated when the Remote Byte Count Register reaches zero.
Packets are removed from the ring using the Remote DMA or an external device. When using the Remote DMA.
The Boundary Pointer can also be moved manually by programming the Boundary Register. Care should be taken to
keep the Boundary Pointer at least one buffer behind the Current Page Pointer. The following is a suggested method
for maintaining the Receive Buffer Ring pointers.
1. At initialization set up a software variable (next_pkt) to indicate where the next packet will be read. At the
beginning of each Remote Read DMA operation, the value of next_pkt will be loaded into RSAR0 and RSAR1.
2. When initializing the AX88796B set:
BNRY
= PSTART
CPR
= PSTART + 1
next_pkt
= PSTART + 1
3. After a packet is DMAed from the Receive Buffer Ring, the Next Page Pointer (second byte in AX88796B
receive packet buffer header) is used to update BNRY and next_pkt.
next_pkt
= Next Page Pointer
BNRY
= Next Page Pointer - 1
If BNRY < PSTART then BNRY = PSTOP – 1
Note the size of the Receive Buffer Ring is reduced by one 256-byte buffer; this will not, however, impede the
operation of the AX88796B. The advantage of this scheme is that it easily differentiates between buffer full and
buffer empty.
It is full when BNRY = CPR.
It is empty when BNRY = CPR-1.

Issue the STOP command to the AX88796B. This is accomplished be setting the STP bit in the AX88796B's
Command Register. Writing 21H to the Command Register will stop the AX88796B.
Wait for at least 1.5 ms. Since the AX88796B will complete any reception that is in progress, it is necessary
to time out for the maximum possible duration of an Ethernet reception. This action prevents buffer memory
from written data through Local DMA Write.
Write data pattern to MUT (memory under test) by Remote DMA write operation.
Read data pattern from MUT (memory under test) by Remote DMA read operation.
Compare the read data pattern with original write data pattern and check if it is equal.

4.3 Wake-up Detection
Setting wake up Control and Status WUCS (CR page3, offset 0Ah) and D1 power saving in Power Management
Register PMR (CR page3, offset 0Bh), place the AX88796B in wake on LAN detection mode. In this mode, normal
data reception is disabled. And detection logic within the MAC examines receive data for three kinds of WOL
events.
- Examines receive data for the pre-programmed wake-up frame patterns
- Examines receive data for the Magic Packet frame patterns
- Examines PHY link status change
4.3.1 Wake-up frame
AX88796B supports four programmable filters that support many different receive packet patterns. If the remote
wakeup mode is enable (in D1 sleep state). The remote wakeup function receives all frames and checks each frame
against the enabled filter and recognizes the frame as a remote wake-up frame if it passes the MAC address filtering
and CRC value match. In order to determine which bytes of the frames should be checked by the CRC-16 (x16 +x15
+x2 +1) module. AX88796B use a programmable byte mask and a programmable pattern offset for each of the four
supported filters. AX88796B also provide last byte match check and options cascade four programmable filters.
Make the four of detectors can operate simultaneously or sequentially.
The byte mask is a 32-bit field that specifies whether or not each of the 32 contiguous bytes within the frame,
beginning in the pattern offset, should be checked. If bit j in the byte mask is set, the diction logic checks byte offset
+j in the frame.
The pattern offset define on Offset 3 ~ 0 for each wake-up filter 3 ~ 0 and the real offset value equal to Offset
register multiplied by 2. (For example, The real offset value equal to 12 if set 6 on Offset register field)
Last bytes 3 ~ 0 for each wake-up filter 3 ~ 0 also. The contents of Last Byte register must equal to the last of Byte
Mask bit indicates of byte value. For example, if set Byte Mask [31:0] as 00C30003h then Byte Mask [23] is the last
byte. Thus, The contents of Last byte register must equal to byte value of offset + 23.
In order to load the 32-bits of wake up control register host driver software must perform 4 writes for every 32 bit of

4.3.2 Magic Packet frame
AX88796B checks frame for 16 repetitions of the MAC address without any breaks or interruptions. The 16
repetitions may be anywhere in the frame but must be preceded by the synchronization stream
48’hFF_FF_FF_FF_FF_FF pattern. If the MAC address of a node is 00h 11h 22h 33h 44h 55h, then AX88796B
scans for the following data sequence in an Ethernet frame.

4.4 Flow Control
The AX88796B supports Full-duplex flow control using the pause control frame. It also supports half-duplex flow
control using collision base of back-pressure method.
4.4.1 Full-Duplex Flow Control
The format of a PAUSE frame is illustrated below. It conforms to the standard Ethernet frame format but includes a
unique type field and other parameters as follows:
The destination address of the frame may be set to either the unique DA of the station to be paused, or to the globally
assigned multicast address 01-80-C2-00-00-01 (hex). The IEEE 802.3 standard for use in MAC control PAUSE
frames has reserved this multicast address. The "Type" field of the PAUSE frame is set to 88-08 (hex) to indicate the
frame is a MAC Control frame.
The MAC Control opcode field is set to 00-01 (hex) to indicate the type of MAC Control frame being used is a
PAUSE frame. The PAUSE frame is the only type of MAC Control frame currently defined.
The MAC Control Parameters field contains a 16-bit value that specifies the duration of the PAUSE event in units of
512-bit times. Valid values are 00-00 to FF-FF (hex). If an additional PAUSE frame arrives before the current
PAUSE time has expired, its parameter replaces the current PAUSE time, so a PAUSE frame with parameter zero
allows traffic to resume immediately.
A 42-byte reserved field (transmitted as all zeros) is required to pad the length of the PAUSE frame to the minimum
Ethernet frame size.

AX88796B will inhibit transmit frames for a specified period of time if a PAUSE frame received and CRC is
correct. If a PAUSE request is received while a transmit frame is in progress, then the pause will take effect after the
transmitting is completed.
AX88796B base on “Rx Page Start Register” (CR page0 Offset 01h) and “Rx Page Stop Register”(CR page0 Offset
02h) to calculate and got the total of free page count can be used for store received packets. (One page equal to 256
bytes) The total of free page count will decrease when packets received. A programmable of high water
free-page-count in “Flow Control Register” (Offset 1Ah) used to measure the water level of receive buffer.
AX88796B use XOFF / XON flow-control method to avoid missing packet if receive buffer almost full. A XON
transmitting when the total of free page count equal to or less then “high water free-page-count”. A XOFF
transmitting when the total of free page count equal to or greater then (“high water free-page-count” + 6 pages).

4.4.2 Half-Duplex Flow Control
Whenever the receive buffer becomes full crosses a certain threshold level, The MAC starts sending a Jam signal,
which will result in a collision. After sensing the collision, the remote station will back off its transmit ion.
AX88796B only generate this collision-based of back-pressure when it receives a new frame, in order to avoid any
late collisions.
A programmable of “Back-pressure Jam Limit count” (Offset 17h) is used for avoid HUB port partition due to many
continues of collisions. AX88796B will reset the “Back-pressure Jam Limit count” when either a transmitted or
received frame without collision. A back-pressure leakage allow when senses continue of collisions count up to
“Back-pressure Jam Limit count”, it will be no jamming one of receive frame even receive buffer is full.
4.5 Big- and Little-endian Support
AX88796B supports “Big-“ or “Little-endian” processor. To support big-endian processors, the hardware designer
must explicitly invert the layout of the byte lanes. In addition, for a 16-bit interface, the big-endian register must be
set correctly following the table below.
Additionally, please refer to Big-endian register (offset 1Eh), for additional information on status indication on bigor little-endian modes.

AX88796B’s 16-bit Data Port (DP) read/write like a FIFO not rely on address pin. The “Even access” means the
first of access Data Port (DP) behind of remote read/write Command Register (CR). The second time access Data
Port (DP) is “Odd access” and then next is “Even access”, and so on.
Host can read bit-7 in “Device Status Register” (Offset 17h) to know the current of big- or little-endian types. The
default is Little-endian mode.
4.6 General Purpose Timer (GP Timer)
The programmable General Purpose Timer can be used to generate periodic host interrupts and the resolution of this
timer is 100us.
The GP timer is a 16-bit of register. GPT1 (CR page3 offset 0Fh) and GPT0 (CR page3 offset 0Eh) to compost this
16-bit of General Purpose Timer. This GP timer field of default value is FFFFh. Once set the General Purpose
Timer Enable (CR page3 Offset 0Dh) the GPT counts down until it reaches 0000h then update the a new pre-load
value into GPT, and continues counting.
The GPT interrupt has no status indicate in Interrupt Status Register (CR page0 offset 07h). The interrupt event will
keep active until host driver read Interrupt Status Register (CR page0 offset 07h) then clear GPT interrupt event.

4.7 EEPROM Interface
AX88796B can optionally load its MAC address from an external serial EEPROM. If a properly configured
EEPROM is detected by AX88796B at power-up, hard reset or host set a reload EEPROM request (CR page3 offset
0Ch), the constants of EEPROM data will be auto loading to internal memory from 0000h to 001Fh and from 0400h
to 040Fh automatically. It is similar NE2000 PROM store MAC address field. A detailed explanation of the
EEPROM data format in section 3.1 “EEPROM Memory Mapping”. After auto load EEPROM completed not
indicate AX88796B knew its MAC address. Host driver can get MAC address from internal memory (0000h ~
001Fh) or (0400h ~ 040Fh) and write “Physical Address Registers” (CR page1 offset 01h ~ 06h).
The AX88796B EEPROM use 3 PIN to connect to a most “93C46” type EEPROM configured for x16-bit operation.

After EEPROM loader has finished reading the MAC after power-on, hard reset or host set a reload EEPROM
request (CR page3 offset 0Ch), the Host is free to perform EECS, EECK and EEDIO as General Purpose I/O pin.
4.8 Power management
AX88796B supports power-down modes to allow applications to minimize power consumption. There is one
normal operation power state, D0 and there are two power saving states: D1, and D2. The “Power Management
Register”(CR Page3 Offset 0Bh) controls those of power management modes. In D1 power saving state, AX88796B
supports Wake on LAN function. In D2 power saving state, AX88796B will off all function block and clocks to
minimize power consumption. After wakeup event, the “Power Management Register” will be cleared and state at
normal operation power state. When AX88796B in either D1 or D2 power saving mode, host can write “Host Wake
Up Register” (Offset 1Fh) return the AX88796B to the D0 state. Power is reduced to various modules by disabling
the clocks as outlined in table as below.

4.8.1 Power Management Event Indicators
The external PME signal can be setup as Push-Pull driver or open-drain buffer. And also can be set as active high or
active low. When set the PME_IND bit to a ‘1’, (offset 15h) the external PME signal will be driven active for 60ms
upon detection of a wake-up event. When the PME_IND bit is cleared, the PME signal will be driven continuously
upon detection of a wake-up event. Host can checks which kind of wake-up event activity by reads “Wake up
Control and Status Register”(CR page3 offset 0Ah). Host can writing “Power Management Register”(CR page3
offset 0Bh) or writing a ‘1’ to clear wake-up event activity flags on “Wake up Control and Status Register”(CR
page3 offset 0Ah) to deactivated PME signal.

4.9 Device Ready or Busy
There are three kinds of device ready indicator in “Device Status Register” (Offset 17h). Those are indicates
AX88796B internal operation busy. In order to prevent the host access AX88796B in the busy stage, host can to
check the “Device Status Register” before doing some key operations.
When a “0” at the bit-4 (D-RDY) in “Device Status Register” (Offset 17h), indicate the AX88796B in reset state or
power saving state or EEPROM loading state or loop-back mode swapping.
When a “0” at the bit-5 (RD-RDY) in “Device Status Register” (Offset 17h), indicate the remote-DMA-read data
not ready yet, host must not read data port (DP) in this period. The non-ready period only happen when host set a
remote-read command on “Command Register”(CR), and it will be go to ready state when a valid data pop out for
host to reading. Host driver can back-to-back read data port (DP) since checked the RD-RDY was ready. The
maximum of remote-read non-ready period only spend 60ns. Host can ignore to check RD_RDY if host access time
not faster then it.
When a “0” at the bit-6 (RDMA-RDY) in “Device Status Register” (Offset 17h), indicate the remote DMA not
completed yet. This RDMA-RDY will be cleared when host write “Remote Byte Count 0” RBCR0 (CR page0
Offset 0Ah) or “Remote Byte Count 1” RBCR1 (CR page0 Offset 0Bh). The byte counter will down counting when
every data port (DP) access. This RDMA-RDY will be set when byte counter count to zero.

6.5 CPU Access MII Serial Management Interface
Basic Operation
The primary function of station management is to transfer control and status information about the PHY to a
management entity. This function is accomplished by the MDC clock input from MAC entity. The maximum
frequency is 2.5 MHz.
The Internal PHY address is fixed to 10h and the equivalent circuit is shown as below:

Fig - 9 SMI connections
A specific set of registers and their contents (described in Tab - 19 MII Management Frames- field Description)
defines the nature of the information transferred across the MDIO interface. Frames transmitted on the MII
management interface will have the frame structure shown in Tab - 18 SMI Management Frame Format. The
order of bit transmission is from left to right. Note that reading and writing the management register must be
completed without interruption.

Descriptions
Preamble. The PHY will accept frames with no preamble. This is indicated by a 1 in MR1 1, bit 6.
Start of Frame. The start of frame is indicated by a 01 pattern.
Operation Code. The operation code for a read transaction is 10. The operation code for a write
transaction is a 01.
PHY Address. The PHY address is 5 bits, allowing for 32 unique addresses. The first PHY address
bit transmitted and received is the MSB of the address. A station management entity that is
attached to multiple PHY entities must have prior knowledge of the appropriate PHY address for
each entity.
Register Address. The register address is 5 bits, allowing for 32 unique registers within each PHY. The
first register address bit transmitted and received is the MSB of the address.
Turnaround. The turnaround time is a 2-bit time spacing between the register address field, and
the data field of a frame, to avoid drive contention on MDIO during a read transaction. During a
write to the PHY, these bits is driven to 10 by the station. During a read, the MDIO is not
driven during the first bit time and is driven to a 0 by the PHY during the second bit time.
Data. The data field is 16 bits. The first bit transmitted and received will be bit 15 of the register
being addressed.
Idle Condition. The IDLE condition on MDIO is a high-impedance state. All three state drivers will be
disabled and the PHY’s pull-up resistor will pull the MDIO line to logic 1.

7.4.5 Burst Reads Access Timing
Burst read access is enabled when set FIFO_SEL(SA5) is driven high during a read access. This is normally
accomplished by connecting the FIFO_SEL(SA5) signal to a high-order address line. This mode is useful when
the host processor must increment its address when accessing the AX88796B.
In this mode, performance is improved by allowing an unlimited number of back-to-back WORDS read cycles.
AX88796B base on SA0 or SA1 address toggles to identify WORD access cycle time. Host can set burst cycle
base on SA0 or SA1 toggle by BCB1 (CR page3 Offset 0Dh).

Appendix A4: co-work with 32-bit processor
An example, AX88796B co-work with Samsung 2440 processor. (32-bit processor with external 16-bit bus)
AX88796B’s bus setting as ISA mode. (Without external resister connect to EECS and EECK) Host can use burst
read mode, it is useful host processor increment its address when moving AX88796B received data.
AX88796B supports two kinds of Data Port for receiving/transmitting packets from/to AX88796B. One is the PIO
Data Port (offset 10h); the other one is the SRAM-like Data Port (e.g. offset 800h ~ FFFh for Samsung2440
processor as described in below figure). The SRAM-like Data Port address range depends on which address line of
host processor is being connected to the address line SA5/FIFO_SEL of AX88796B.
Software on host CPU can issue Single Data Read/Write command to both PIO Data Port and SRAM-like Data Port.
However, to use Burst Data Read/Write commands, one has to use SRAM-like Data Port, which requires
SA5/FIFO_SEL (pin 45) of AX88796B connecting to an upper address line of host CPU. AX88796B with Samsung
2440 processor reference schematic has SA5/FIFO_SEL pin connected to upper address line (i.e. A11 of Samsung
2440) for supporting Burst Data Read/Write commands.

Appendix B: Disable AX88796B voltage regulator
AX88796B integrates an on-chip 3.3V to 1.8V voltage regulator for single-power supply system design. If the
system have 1.8V power source already, user may like to disable AX88796B voltage regulator and use the existing
1.8V power source (probably a higher efficiency version). In that case, user can connect VCC3R3 (pin-10) and
GND3R3 (pin-11) to ground, keep V18F (pin-9) open, and set REGSTB bit of PMR register (see Page3 Offset 0BH
bit-4 in section 5.1.56 Power Management Register (PMR)) to 0 (i.e. logic "low") to avoid the leakage current.
Please refer to below picture for details.

Note: If user connects the VCC3R3 to 3.3V VCC and wants to disable the internal voltage regulator of AX88796B,
the REGSTB bit of PMR register should be set to 1 to set the regulator in standby mode to reduce the leakage
current.
